Advance Your Career with IOSH Managing Safely Training from ER Training

In today’s fast-paced work environments, effective safety leadership is more important than ever. Organisations rely on supervisors and managers who can manage risks proactively and create a positive safety culture. One of the most effective ways to build these skills is through IOSH Managing Safely training — a course designed to help leaders protect their teams, improve workplace safety, and advance their own careers.

At ER Training, we specialise in delivering high-quality safety and compliance courses that empower professionals to lead with confidence.

Why Safety Management Training Matters

Safety management training equips leaders with the tools and confidence to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement practical control measures. But it goes far beyond compliance — it’s about embedding safety into every decision and action.

Key benefits include:

• Improved risk awareness: Learn to spot potential dangers before they cause harm.

• Enhanced communication: Develop the confidence to engage your team in open safety discussions.

• Stronger safety culture: Inspire your colleagues to prioritise safety every day.

• Legal compliance: Understand legislation to help your organisation stay compliant and avoid costly penalties.

• Reduced incidents: Proactive management means fewer accidents and a more productive workplace.

For instance, one manufacturer that invested in structured safety management training saw a 30% reduction in injuries within a year — achieved by empowering supervisors to lead regular audits and encourage open hazard reporting.
